Introduction: Livebinders are “online” notebooks that organize and house files and webpage links that can be accessed from the web and shared easily with others. Livebinders used with Smartboards make it easy and quick to access websites for instruction. Livebinders can be used to create your own textbook which can be shared with your students. Students can create livebinders for projects such as a livebinder on a trip to India or a decade. Public Livebinders are also a great source of information .
Browser Recommendations: I find that Firefox is the easiest browser to use with Livebinders and the Livebinderit Tool.
The Livebinderit Tool makes collecting and organizing webpages and their URLs easy and fast. When you find a webpage you want to keep, you click on the livebinderit tool and it adds the webpage to a new or existing binder without having to open the binder or having to go to the binder shelf.
On school computers Firefox is under the student menu:
Tools Tab LiveBinder It Bookmarklet – Add "LiveBinder It" to your browser toolbar so that you can add to your binders while you browse.
How do I install the LiveBinder Bookmarklet on Firefox? Make sure you select 'View >> toolbars >> bookmarks toolbar' from the 'View' menu Simply drag the Livebinder bookmarklet up to your toolbar. That's it!
